Ingredients

12 very soft, plump dried Black Mission figs, stemmed and halved lengthwise 

12 slices bacon, halved crosswise 

24 fresh sage leaves 

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wrap each fig half in a bacon piece, tucking 1 sage leaf under bacon as you go; secure with a toothpick. Arrange, 1 inch apart, on a rack set in a rimmed baking sheet.

Bake until tops are browned and crisp, about 25 minutes. Turn; bake until other sides are browned and crisp, 10 to 15 minutes more. Let cool on a wire rack 5 minutes. Remove toothpicks; serve.
